Injury Report
Dallas Stars
- Roope Hintz (C): Day-to-Day (Illness) – Missed last 3 games; skated but uncertain for tonight (lean questionable; Arttu Hyry or others filling top-6 minutes).
- Mikko Rantanen (RW): Out (Lower Body – post-Olympics; expected return ~mid-to-late March).
- Radek Faksa (C): Out (Upper Body).
- Tyler Seguin (C): Out (ACL – LTIR, long-term).
Depth forwards and blue-line rotation affected, but the streak continues without them.
Calgary Flames
- Jonathan Huberdeau (LW): Out for Season (Hip surgery).
- Samuel Honzek (LW): Out (Upper Body – surgery, remainder of season).
- Jake Bean (D): Out (Undisclosed).
- Possible others (e.g., Blake Coleman or depth scratches for roster management), but core forward group depleted of key scorers.
Flames are missing significant offensive production; Stars missing star centers but rolling with depth.
Key Player Matchups to Watch
- Goaltending: Jake Oettinger (DAL – elite .915+ SV%, hot streak) vs. Devin Cooley or backup (CGY – serviceable but shaky vs. high-volume offenses). Clear edge to Dallas.
- Top Lines: Jason Robertson / Wyatt Johnston / Matt Duchene (DAL – combining for heavy scoring during streak) vs. Yegor Sharangovich / Joel Farabee / Nazem Kadri (CGY – Flames’ best remaining threats). Dallas depth overwhelms Calgary’s depleted forward corps.
- Defense/Physicality: Stars’ Miro Heiskanen / Thomas Harley / Lian Bichsel (Bichsel heating up with 2G Monday) vs. Flames’ blueline (missing Bean). Dallas controls transition and forecheck; expect physical push from Calgary’s bottom-six.
- Special Teams: Both middle-of-pack, but Stars PP clicks at home/road lately; Flames PK vulnerable without depth.
Dallas holds massive edges in talent, depth, and form.
Series History
- 2025-26 Season: Flames lead 1-0 (Nov 22, 2025: CGY 3, DAL 2 in SO at Scotiabank Saddledome).
- Recent Trend: Stars have dominated long-term (strong all-time edge), but this season’s lone meeting went to Calgary in a tight, low-event game. Dallas is 6-3-1 in last 10 vs. CGY overall. On the road in Calgary, games trend tight/low-scoring.
Betting Trends
- Stars are 9-0 SU and strong ATS during streak (covering big on road blowouts).
- Dallas on back-to-backs (played Monday in VAN, travel to CGY) is historically solid but fatigue a minor factor.
- Flames are poor home underdogs vs. elite Western teams; 3-7 SU in last 10 home games.
- Games involving Dallas lately trend Over when hot, but vs. Flames historically Under 5.5-6.
- Stars 18-7-6 on road; Flames 9-18-3 at home.
